What is "Real Country Music" to the Director of Crazy Heart, Scott Cooper?
Crazy heart is a new film that is gaining lots of Oscar Buzz for both its star Jeff Bridges and for the theme song "The Weary Kind" from Ryan Bingham (which is nominated for a Golden Globe Award as well). The film's director was quoted as saying that "real country music" is "really about anyone who writes about their real life experiences. That's what's important, no matter what kind of music." Nothing about how it should sound sonically is talked abotu here, although the to-be-released soundtrack features traditional and singer/songwriter fare from Bridges, Bingham, The Lovin Brothers, Buck Owens and Waylon Jennings among others.
